Skempton Storage Bench

The under-seat storage is surprisingly roomy — I fit two throw blankets and a pair of boots in there with room to spare. The piano-style design makes it feel intentional in my entryway rather than just another piece of furniture taking up space.

The grayish white finish fits my coastal living room way better than the dark wood bench it replaced. The piano-style design makes it feel like furniture instead of just a storage box, and the seat is sturdy enough to actually sit on while pulling shoes on.

The under seat storage is deeper than I expected, so all my entryway clutter disappears when guests come over. The grayish white finish has just enough texture to hide scuffs from shoes and the dog.
